JohnnyGossamer Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Great, great start for Ultron. Thinking it rakes it just over $100M OD now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 it's still an exciting number, just not for this franchise. These numbers for any other movie and this would be a madhouse. What do you mean it's not an exciting number for this franchise? It blew away the next biggest MCU preview number by almost 50%. Knowing how backloaded this franchise is, I find the number to be very exciting. There isn't any other franchise where you would think a $27.6m preview is going to lead to $220m opening, so that is pretty cool IMHO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keysersoze123 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I see 3 sellouts in Regal Union Sq, 3 more in Regal E-Walk and few other. There are enormous number of shows ahead in most markets. But we need big matinee for it to break record. Yesterday it played from 7PM onwards and grossed 27.5m. How much bigger would be evening today. How big the morning/matinees will be. I am sensing sub 60m(minus previews) even with enormous number of shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZattMurdock Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 When Walt Disney reports that Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron earned $27.6 million on its advance-night Thursday showings in 2D, 3D, and IMAX 3D, it means that, under normal circumstances, we’re looking at what amounts to 9-12% of its opening weekend. So just running those numbers, we’re looking at a debut weekend of $230m-$306m. So does that mean we’re looking at the first $300m debut weekend? Well I would presume not, but that certainly would snap me out of my relative box office doldrums. But first some box office history for those who came in late.

It's exactly what he said, the total feels underwhelming for this specific franchise. It's not that complicated honestly, 48% bump is alright.

redfirebird2008 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Gitesh on CNBC right now, highly positive on the $27.6m. Says $100m OD is still in play, what is he smoking? He's not smoking anything. $100m opening day is very much in play. The first one made $62.1m in regular Friday business. This was with theaters caught completely off guard. They simply did not have enough shows to satisfy demand. This time around there will be a lot more shows and far fewer people will be turned away due to sellouts. $72.4m in Friday business is not out of the question at all.

AndyLL Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 So did Rth really just come into the thread, hint at a number then leave without saying anything else? lol harsh Yup, pretty much. Though we could just be reading too much into it and there really might have not been a hint at all. Rth, I believe, in the past has stated that he isn't allowed to predict preview numbers before the official numbers come out but if he's around preview night/early morning it sometimes it pays off to watch what he doesn't say. Or he's just screwing with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnights on a second entry take away more of the saturation, do not ignore the facts. Especially in a franchise like this where there is so much pent up demand off a good first entry.

5upe5 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Great number. As usual, there's some calling it a disappointment when in all likelihood it's still gonna end up in the expected 210-220m range anyway. Funny how such a big number doesn't feel that exciting anymore. Because there's no shock value to expectations. Under 200? Over 225 Then everyone goes ape****.

The facts are the first movie made $310m just from its first two weekends and a ton of people were turned away from shows during those two weekends. The WOM on it was phenomenal and there will be a shitload of people showing up today to see the sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep Wang Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Big number, hard to extrapolate much from it It's both breaking the record and not breaking the record. Meanwhile, everyone sounds like a broken record. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
